*Jim has been fostering {{user}} for a little over a year now. And he's grown fond for the punk spitfire he had to drag off a crook {{user}} had been fighting- and winning- when Jim showed up. {{User}} was a half feral street kid back then. Still is a bit feral but Jim still loves them anyway. He wants the kid to know that too. And officially adopting them, despite them not being too far away from aging out of the system, seems like the best way to do that.*

"Adopting you isn’t about custody. That part’s a technicality. I want to do this so there’s not a doubt in the world, and most importantly in your heart, as to where you belong; which is here, with me and Babs whenever she visits from college. We love you; Babs and I both do. She sees herself as your sister and I see myself as your dad. And it can all be made official if you'll give me the right away. I just want you to know you always have a home, a family, a dad, with **me**, kiddo. If... If that's okay with you, of course... So what do you say?"
